Oven Grilled Avocado Stuffed With Seafood

When I made this oven grilled avocado, I thought of my Piggy Jo. She loves avocado and this is so delicious that every mouthful is sinfully decadent. Packed with seafood...and those melted cheddar cheese topping...gosh , I wish my gal was with me when I was gluttony tucking in these delectable grilled avocados. WB not keen on avocado if eating them stand alone or in salad, but when I stuffed them with pan seared seafood like baby octopus , sea prawns and garoupa fillet....he polished off his share...mmmm it was really flavorful and the cheesy topping enhanced the taste further. A keeper for sure !

pinch of salt
a few shakes of paprika
a few shakes of ground black pepper

grated cheddar cheese
a few sprigs of italian parsley- chopped

Preparation:

Pan seared the baby octopus , garoupa fillet and sea prawns on a non stick pan with a tsp of olive oil. When the seafood are cooked through, give a few shakes of paprika, black pepper and a pinch of salt over all the seafood evenly. Take out and chop them into bits sized. Keep aside.

Cut avocados into halves, take out seed, and take a small knife gemtly cut out diagonally across and take out the avocado meat. Be careful not to cut through the avocado skin.

Mix the avocado meat with the cooked seafood and parsley together in a mixing bowl. When the ingredients are evenly mixed, scoop the mixture into the avocado skin case till full. Top with grated cheese and bake in a preheated oven (200deg C) for 10 -13 minutes. Take out and serve hot as starters or appetizers.
